A cylinder containing monatomic gas and closed by a movable piston.The cylinder is submerged in an ice-water mixture.The piston is quickly pushed down from the top postion closer to the bottom. The piston is held there until the gas is again at 0 degrees celcius and then it is slowly raised back up to it,s orginal position. If 100 grams of ice are melted during the cycle, how much work has been done on the gas?

A small meteorite comprised of iron with mass 1.32x10^3 kg enters Earths atmosphere from space and crashes into Lake Camplain (a body of fresh water, which has a total mass of 8.56x10^8 kg ).The entry into Earths atmosphere increases the temperatureof the meteorite to 3.24 x10^3 degrees celius just before it comes apart in small pieces and impacts he water at a speed of 3500 m/s above the deepest part of the lake.The temperature of the lake is a chilly 10 degrees celius just before the impact. what is the final temperature of the system of the lake and meteorite? For this purpose asume the lake bottom is a good thermal insulator.

One end of a brass bar is maintained at 292%C, while the other end is kept at a constant but lower temperature. The cross-sectional area of the bar is 5.0 x 10-4 m2. Because of insulation, there is negligible heat loss through the sides of the bar. Heat flows through the bar, however, at the rate of 2.6 J/s. What is the temperature of the bar at a point 0.17 m from the hot end?---%C
